Easy Grilled Onions in Foil

Ingredients

• 1 large Vidalia onion or yellow onion (thinly sliced)
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt (to taste)
• Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
• 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter (diced)

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat grill to 450°F.

2. 2

   Cut a piece of heavy duty foil (or two pieces if using regular foil) approximately 22 inches long.

3. 3

   Place thinly sliced onion in the center of the foil and toss with onion and garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Dot the top with butter.

4. 4

   Pull the long edges of the foil up, folding them onto each other to create a seal. Then fold in the short edges of the foil to create the packet, making sure all edges are sealed, and leaving enough space in the foil packet for the onions to move when you shake it.

5. 5

   Place the foil packet on the grill over direct heat (but not a direct flame). You can also place it over indirect heat to reduce any risk of burning the onions. Cook for 25-30 minutes, shaking the foil packet halfway through. You can also gently open and stir the onions around halfway through.

6. 6

   Gently open the foil packet, allowing the steam to escape. Stir the onions before serving and allow to cool slightly.
